John Tavares faces online humiliation during the game against the Bruins

It was Brad Marchand who sealed the Leafs' fate, as he has been on fire in recent games.

In fact, there's a truly embarrassing sequence circulating actively on the web involving Toronto's captain, John Tavares.

During the sequence of Marchand's game-winning goal, the number 91 failed to make his defensive play after a turnover by his team, setting a poor example for his teammates. Let's just say it's a picture worth a thousand words... It clearly demonstrates why the Leafs will never win the Stanley Cup with their current core.

Thursday night sees the Bruins welcoming the Sabres for their second encounter this season in Boston. The puck is scheduled to be dropped at 7 p.m. ET at TD Garden
